That's what my mom asked me when it became around nine: "Did you hug your blog today? Better be hugging it."
Posting everyday actually wasn't as major a pain as I thought it would be. At first, I thought I was crazy for signing up for NaBloPoMo, considering that prior to November, the most number of posts in a month was five. Chances of me blogging every day seemed slim.
Yet, I remind myself that once I publish this, I'm done: no more constant blogging, no freak-out, quick, last-minute posts, no more daily blog hugging.
I think I'm going to miss it.
So I think I might try and continue it. I mean, not daily or anything, but periodically post something interesting, cool, weird, etc.
Then again, I've gotten slightly bored with what's going on with me. I think that, actually, I'll give Rodents on the Roof another chance and post another edition of Rodent Report
Hey, I just published this. NaBloPoMo 2007 is officially OVER.

4D Dream: Sight, Sound, Smell, and Touch
I had the absolute weirdest dream last night.
It wasn't weird as in the fantasy pokemon legend dream I had a couple nights ago (Don't ask), but weird as in so realistic yet so impossible.
Most of the dream is kind of fuzzy now, but I do remember the main part: I was the exact age I am now (12) and my mom was letting me get a tattoo. Scratch that---TWO tattoos, both right next to each other on my upper right arm.
Let's get one thing straight. I think tattoos are pretty cool. I think it's stupid to just walk in, find a design you like, and paint it on, only to hate it five days later. But still, some people can pull them off really well. (Billy Martin, for example)
The part that made it so weird was the fact that my mom would NEVER in a million years sit next to me as I got all tattooed and even encourage me to keep going ("Come on---just two more inches and you'll be done!"). I mean, I've told her about the fantasy my friend Karen and I share about getting our hair dyed black and some other neon color when we're 18 and 19, but in my dream, I WAS STILL 12!
Scary thing is, I felt the needle. It hurt. A lot.

Quadruple Reed
You know how a couple weeks ago, I was moaning about how my oboe stopped working?
Well, I sent it in for repairs. It had a pad missing. It was replaced on the spot. Before the repairman left, he decided to drop off the oboe that my mom decided to rent because we thought that my regular oboe might be in the shop for a few weeks.
So now I'm stuck with not one, not zero, but TWO oboes! It's kind of strange, considering on Tuesday I was oboeless and today I'm...oboeful. It's kind of like growing two inches overnight.
I have the second oboe for about a month, unless we decide to keep renting it and eventually keep it. During that time, I plan to take advantage of my two oboes and keep one at home and one at school. Might as well make use of it.
However, I'm still contemplating which oboe to use for the concert based on difficulty and sound quality. Some girls may obsess about which pair of shoes to wear to the mall. Me? I don't have time for silly things like that! I'm busy debating which reed to use.

A Typical Day
I've noticed that sometimes I might say "Sometime around 4th period..." or something like that if I'm referring to 4th period at school. It just hit me that none of my readers really know what 4th period is for me! So as a boring but informative post, I'm posting a normal day in the life.
6 AM- My brother wakes me up by turning on the lights, filling my room with blinding light. If I feel energetic (Which I usually don't), I'll get dressed. If I feel lazy, I'll eat breakfast in my pajamas---the closest thing I can get to Breakfast in Bed.
7:30ish AM- I'm in homeroom usually reading, writing in my agenda, finishing my homework, or doing absolutely nothing. Good enough for me.
1st period- Geography. It's my favorite and best subject, and I really like my teacher. (He's cool!) We're usually reading the next section, discussing the previous section, taking a 12-question quiz, or working on our group projects (My group is doing Russia.)
2n period- Band. I really like my 1st-4th period classes, so I'll just say that and be done with all the "I like this class because..." stuff. I play oboe, but am considered a flute because there's only four flutes and only one oboe. I'm also the only double reed. Woo hoo!
3rd period- Literature. We usually do hands-on stuff with the stories from out textbooks, such as trials, skits, vocabulary games, etc. We just started reading circles, so we're taking a break from our regular textbooks and reading actual books with our groups. MY group is doing "Roll Of Thunder, Hear My Cry".
4th period- Science. It's also lunch and recess, so it's kind of a short period. Still, it's interesting and I understand a lot of the concepts I started on in 5th grade a whole lot better, such as chemical reactions.
5th period- Math. We tend to spend two days on a section: one to do problems from the textbook and one to do word problems. It makes it easier to know what to expect.
6th period- Language Arts. We're currently doing a lot of Power Point things, which is kind of hard because I know absolutely nothing about Power Point. I'm alright with Word, but all the snazzy stuff some people can do in PP? I can't understand I a bit of it.
7th period- PE. Currently, we're focusing on Flag Football, and we've done Frisbee, soccer, and basketball. I've heard that about once or twice each quarter, we play DanceDance Revolution, but so far there's been no word of it. I hope we get to do it, as I'm pretty good at it.
After school- Swimming, piano and beta Club, drama, bassoon, or just plain hanging out. I'll get cracking on my homework at around 7.
10 PM- Lights out!
Hopefully, tonight will be earlier...

Scales and Arpeggios
I started piano lessons today.
I also started Beta Club, but I had been waiting for piano lessons more or less since I started to teach myself piano. I'm all right at it, but not amazing. Hopefully it'll help me figure out bass clef a bit more and help me on the bassoon (Which is also going well---I know four notes and can play "Mary Had A Little Lamb")
My teacher is really cool and is letting me kind of pick up where I left off. I'm a lot more fluent with treble clef now, so that'll help me out a fair bit.
I know it'll take a while, but I have some sheet music in my piano bench that is slowly collecting dust. I'm hoping that in a few months I'll be able to dust it off and actually play it full way through without spending five hours decoding it.

5 More Days!
I can't believe that I've made it to the final 6 days of NaBloPoMo. I nearly slipped up on day 2 (Day 2! How pathetic is that?!) but managed to post something (As you saw).
I made my new logo this morning. I got bored with just having me be in the picture, so I made a green guy to be an elf, shrunk him, and scattered a few on the picture. I think it looks a lot nicer. I also really like my off-white background: it makes things so much easier to read and it just makes the screen look cheerier if that is even possible.
Hey, go me! I posted before 9 this morning, and now I only have 5 more posts until I'm DONE!
It's kind of strange having 25 posts in November and having one in October. In second place for month with most posts is June, with five. Huh.

In Need of a New Look
Well, now that Thanksgiving's over, I've decided to change my blog up a bit. I'm still choosing which theme to go with, so if the new layout isn't up soon, it means I'm still arguing with myself. However, I am planning on making the background white and giving myself a Wintery theme.
Once again, my logo is courtesy of South Park Studios.

Sneak Peak
I'm currently making a website. I'm not using any fancy text editor to do the dirty work for me (such as Dreamweaver, Freewebs, or Yahoo), but just plain old Notepad. A lot of people would say that that sounds hard, but it's easier and better in the long run. For example, as long as I pay the server fee, my site won't have ads, I won't have to put anything about "I'd like to thank (blank) for coding my site", and, most importantly, I can make my site look just the way I want it to. (And, of course, I can brag about my mad coding skillz.)
I can't give too much information on it (after all, what's life worth without little surprises?) but I can tell you that it has pictures of Phantom and Christine.
Yup, you guessed right: it has something to do with Phantom of the Opera. It's not a fan site, though...keep guessing! Guess! Guess! Guess!

The Post About Thanksgiving
Considering my Thanksgiving was rather low-key and uneventful, how about you see two viewpoints of Thanksgiving in Masquerade World*?
Maya's Skit
(Everyone is in a hustle. Thanksgiving day)
Raoul-(on floor doing 3 piece jigsaw puzzle) Why doesn't the turkey head fit on the pumpkin?!!!
Phantom-Okay, if we add some potatoes, and bread, and cheese, and--(diingdong) That must be the babysitters! (Annabelle, Quinn, and Maya walk in)
Maya-Sheeesh! It's chilly out!
Barney-Oh the weather outside is frightful,
Raoul-But Raoul is so delightful
Both-And Since we've no place to go,
Paint our toes, paint our toes, paint our toes!
Phantom-Break your nose, break your nose, break your nose!
Both-KEEEEEEEEEN!
Meg-Huhhh...I knew it'd never work out that they married each other, barbie, and ken....
Phantom-Uhhhhh...(covers up) want to help with some place mats, Maya, Quinn, Annabelle?
All-nodnodd
Barney-Want to help with the place mat making?
Raoul-Or maybe cookie baking!
Both-And Since we've no place to go...
Watch us pose, watch us pose watch us pose!
Phantom-Stomp on your toes, stomp on your toes stomp on your toes!!!!!
Both-BAARRRRBIIIIIEEEE!
Christine-Uggh, I hate them!
Charlotte-(very cute and shyly, still in Christine's stomach)
I just love my family, (loud)
AND HATE RAOUL DE CHANGY!
(quiet)
And Since we've no place to be,
Hug Daddy, Hug Daddy, Hug Daddy.
Crowd-AWWWWW!
Raoul-HHHMPH!
(M, Q, and A are babysitting Raoul/Charlotte)
Quinn-(listening to music on her ipod. blurts out little bits occasionally. Annabelle is frustrated. Maya is pacing) And when you look at me.............................you and...............LOOOOOVE YOUUUU!
Annabelle-WHAT THE....(she was apparently sleeping)
Maya-Quinn, I know that you are obsessed with Leonardo Dicaprio, but...turn the music down a bit, and maybe don't think of him so much, especially when--
Quinn(sings louder)- LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE YOUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!
Maya-Annabelle is--aww, forget it...
Annabelle-Replace Leo with Viktor, will ya???!!!
Raoul-Now, if I put the Turkey head ON the Turkey butt...(working on the jigsaw.)
All 3-RAOUL!!!!!!!!!!!
My Skit
(Christine and Phantom's House- 274th floor, the Kitchen)
Christine- My oh my! You girls DID buy a lot of food for the feast! Just how many people are coming?
Annabelle- Um, 16 or so?
Christine- *sigh* Well, at least we're almost done, as we only have fifteen more minutes until people start arriving. So help me get this giant pumpkin pie in the oven!
All three- (Maya, Annabelle and Quinn) OK!
(Fifteen minutes are up, and Christine, Annabelle, and Maya are setting the table)
Christine- Oh, dear, Maya, can you grab Raoul's booster seat? It in the pantry.
Maya- Surely! *goes and looks for it* Uh, it's not there.
Christine- It must be! Quinn, have you seen Raoul's booster seat? Quinn?
Maya- Oh, dear-
Quinn- (standing on booster seat, holding a megaphone) IT'S 2:00! THOSE LAZY GUESTS ARE 23 SECOND LATE!!!!!! HOW DARE THEY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Maya- Quinn, calm yourself! The guests will arrive shortly.
Quinn- But I don't wanna wait- WOAH!
(The door opens. In comes Meg and Madame Giry. The door opens so suddenly it knocks Quinn off.)
Quinn- Pretty stars!
Christine- Oh dear! Quinn, are you all right?
Quinn- Ugh.....
Annabelle- *pours cold water over Quinn*
Quinn- COLD!!!!!!
(Everyone has sat down to dinner. Phantom is at one head of the table, Christine at the other. Raoul isn't in his booster seat. Besides those three, there are Meg, Madame Giry, Annabelle, Quinn, Maya, Harry, Viktor, and several others)
Phantom- Before we begin, how about we all say what we are thankful for! I'll begin: I'm thankful that Christine dumped Raoul and married me.
Christine- I'm thankful that Maya, Annabelle, and Quinn helped me cook dinner.
Annabelle- I'm thankful that Phantom is letting me do a special "musical performance" with a few others...he he....
Phantom- I never said that!
Quinn- I'm thankful that we invited Vikky!
Viktor- I'm thankful that I'm not sitting next to her. *points to Quinn* or her *points to Annabelle*
A&Q- What?
Maya- I'm thankful that we survived so many other things from our previous skits and adventures!
Meg- I'm thankful that people adore me. I can't help it that I'm popular.
Madame Giry- I'm thankful that people invented swingsets.
Violet- Ding dong, Olaf is dead, Count Olaf is dead!
Klaus- Ditto.
Sunny- Gskljri! (Ditto ditto)
Random Durmstrang guy- I'm thankful that-
Phantom- Hey, we never invited you!
Durmstrang guy- Can I stay? Puh-LEASE?
Phantom- Whatevs.
Durmstrang guy- Yahoo!
Phantom- Raoul, your turn.
Raoul- I don't want to.
Phantom- Raoul, you're being difficult.
Raoul- I'm not thankful for nothing!
Phantom- You're thankful that I'm not strangling you this very moment!
Raoul- No, not thankful for that, either.
Durmstrang- Barney?
Raoul- Nope!
Christine- barbies and bratz?
Raoul- No!
Annabelle- That rock and roll is here to stay?
Phantom- Annabelle, not now.
Raoul- No no no!!!!!!
Quinn- I give up! What about candyland?
Raoul- I can't go to candyland, so, no.
Annabelle- That you have a passion for fashion?
Phantom- Cookies?
Durmstrang guy- Me?
Raoul- What he said!
Dumrstrang- HA! *laughs at phantom* he likes me better than you!
Phantom- your loss.
Narrator- And then the feast went well and uneventful besides an escaping frog, Raoul dancing to "Let's get in started" on the table, Bob, Barbera, and Steve almost being part of dinner and Annabelle suggesting that they all play 7 minutes in heaven.
*"Masquerade World" is the world in which all skits take place in. No matter whether its Egypt, Colonial America, a Good Charlotte concert, or whatever, it's always somewhere in Masquerade World. Most skits, such as this one, are in the capital, Masqeradia. That's what Maya told me, at least.

Clean (Fake) House
Even though there is nothing exciting happening around here, it is my obligation for the month of November to post every day. Therefore, I must post about my day with cleaning-mania.
My grandparents are coming for Thanksgiving, and normally, my mom tries to clean up the house a bit when we have guests. However, it seemed that today was extremely hard and long. That's probably due to the fact that my dad is out of town, and he is the main cleaner-upper. My mom is probably second, then me, then my brother. Trust me, I'm great at keeping my room clean. all the real "cleaning" I have to do is vacuuming. The rest is picking up and restoring the room to its original state. (To put it short, I'm more of an organizer than a cleaner.)
We weren't organizing today. We were cleaning.
I offered to help out with the bathrooms, but I must admit, I'm awful when it comes to cleaning products. "Glass Wipes" and "Surface Wipes" are both just "Wipes" to me, so smart me decided the clean the mirror with a surface wipe and dry it with Kleenex. Ugh.
I did also have to pick up my room, which for as long as it took, I was actually glad that I had the slightest clue what to do. I also love just watching the mess get smaller and smaller until it looks perfect! (For some reason, I prefer to clean my room when it's really messy rather than when it's just slightly messy. It motivates me more.)
On other topics, my friend Maya has probably granted me the "Weirdest Talent" award in the Awards Ceremony in her head. She found out the other day that I could fluently read, write, and translate "chatspeak". Would you like a sample of my mad skillz?
lyk, lol!!!! t4@t 1$ lyk s0 w31rd! 1 6@n @6tu11y typ3 ths p01nt13$$ $tu7! 1m 1337!
Translation- Like, laughing out loud!!!! That is like so weird! I can actually type this pointless stuff! I'm elite!
$tup1d, p01nt1335 t@13nt, 3h?
(Stupid, pointless talent, eh?)

Rock and Awe
I attended my first (sort of) concert today.
I'm saying "sort of" because:
1. It took place during 6th and 7th period
2. It was part of the school day
3. Nearly all the lyrics were rewritten to some DARE moral (Not a bad thing)
It was a bunch of police officers in "The Street Fleet". I couldn't help but thinking "Fleet Street", but still, it was pretty cool.
I went kind of insane---shaking my hair back and forth, clapping my hands wildly, squealing, and standing up. A lot of people in front of me were surprised that I wasn't always the neat as a pin, straight-A goody two-shoes. I think a fair bit of perspective was changed today!

Urg! Ugh! Blech!
My oboe seemed to of died on me this morning! Realize that there are 2 levels of freaking out for this situation: there's the age-old "Crud, my oboe isn't working anymore, so let's try and find another one." and "Oh em gee! My oboe isn't working, and that one major Christmas concert is in 22 days!"
Hopefully, the oboe will decide to work again, but worst case scenario? I have three options:
1. Not turn up at the concert and get a bad grade (Not freakin' likely)
2. Learn the parts on the flute and play with the flutes (Not too bad)
3. Learn the parts on the bassoon (I currently know 3 notes)
Then again, the music consists of mainly 6 of seven notes. I have experience with double reeeds....hmmm...

Halfway Done
Today marks the end of the second full week of NaBloPoMo! I can hardly believe that I'm actually committed to it and haven't slipped up yet. I have made a few late-night posts, but have still gotten them all turned in on time. To celebrate, here's the video of me totally PWNING my swim meet today:

Lost and Found
Good Morning Revival is probably my favorite CD ever.
Which was why I was completely flipping out when I couldn't find it!
I was trying to draw Joel Madden (He ended up looking like Van Gough) when my brother came into my room, glanced at the paper I was copying from, and made some statement about how he should upload GMR on his iPod. I just kind of muttered, "Sure," and finished my drawing.
When cleaning my room the other day, though, the CD and its case were both GONE! I had no idea what could of happened to them, so I soon gave up hunt and decided it would come up one day.
This evening, though, it did come up! My brother had his talent show, and he played Canon on electric guitar. He had a CD accompanist, and after the show, he handed it to me, and I glanced at what it was in. Faintly, behind the CD, I could see "Go Mor R".
I demanded WHAT the heck he was doing with my Cd's, and he just told me to chill. I'm cool with him using my stuff, but it would of been nice to know about.
Now I have the case back. I have five dollars that mike is currently ripping the CD on his iPod and will turn up after he has to borrow space on the disk for his recording.

Swim, Forrest, Swim!
I had my second swim meet tonight, and I left with a lot of a better mood for the season.
For one, I had cut my time by about three seconds. With last night's cut of 10 seconds, I'm really doing good!
But for another, I think I got second or third place. Out of six, three of them who supposedly breathe water or something. My legs were killing me about halfway through my last 25 meters, but I remembered that that was what put me in 6th last time, sucked it up, and sprinted.
Now, I'm really pumped for Saturday's meet! (But then I'll enjoy a non-swimming weekend)

Not Sure What To Call This
My friend Karen and I skittled this afternoon. Karen doesn't skittle a whole lot, but she's really good! It's also nice to have a break from romantic drama in the historical skits Maya and I write.
Here's a snippet from "When GC Attacks":
Deano- *hangs out in the back with Paul* This is so stupid....yet so amusing...
Paul- Totally.
Deano-I got 5 bucks on Joel. What about you?
Paul- Oooh, I'm voting Billy. He's a tough little guy...
Deano- He's taller than you!
Paul- Don't rub it in!
Deano-But look how skinny he is! Joel's got huge arms and Billy's got, like, spaghetti noodle arms!
Confused? Be so. This has a really weird plotline.
And no, Billy, we don't really think you have spaghetti noodle arms. Neither does Deano.

For Maya
"Everybody deep down in their heart likes pointe shoes."
That's what Maya says, at least. She's as obsessed with pointe shoes as I am with Billy Martin. I don't know much about their dynamics, so here is a little chart:
It supposedly has layers of glue, paper mache, and burlap. I don't know. Ask Maya. (Ehem, comments.)
Good night!

*SniffleSniffle*
Over the past few months, my friend Maya and I have been writing a skit entitled "The Colonial Skit". Soon enough, it got so long, it turned into a full-length play, with two complete acts! Still, whenever we wanted to work on it, we still asked "Wanna skittle?" rather than "Wanna continue writing the play?".
Last night, a huge event in skittling history occurred.
The Colonial Skit was finished.
We have written another historical skit-play, "The Egypt Skit", but it has never been officially published, edited, or put into one email. Therefore, the Colonial Skit has broken several skittling records including:
- Longest Skit (1852 words long)
- First Historical Skit
- First Skit to Include a written, book-form epilogue
We're considering making the skit into a musical (Just putting some music to it when it fits the mood) and, more importantly, a book. We're really excited about all the possibilities that the skit has, and we can't wait to do them!
Then again, Maya and I can't believe that it IS actually over. We kind of miss working on it. Hmmm....sequels, anyone?

Don't Interupt me Long
I'm in a really good, intense skittling moment. Want to join it?
Juliet-My sampler is of a snowflake.
Beatrice-Mine is of a grape, see?(holds up a very realistic sampler of a grape)
Joseph-I don't have a sampler.
Scarlett- *is actually working on her sampler because she just figured out how to change colors* I'm not sure what mine is...there's truth yet no logic. (Her sampler is a circle with flowers, animals, and swirling colours)
Juliet-It looks like....wow, it's...so abstract and unique!
Meagan-Hmmph. I don't like abstract things. They should have order, like me.
Scarlett- Thank you, Juliet. I felt like doing something out of the ordinary, rather than a flower garden.
*glances at Juliet's sampler* My, what a lovely snowflake! I strongly considered doing a snowflake...so delicate...and after all, no two snowflakes are quite alike.
From the Colonial Skit.

The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow
Well, according to Yahoo! weather, it'll be partly cloudy, but that's not the point.
I'm still sorta sick, but I'm really, really, REALLY excited about tomorrow. Yes, even though I will have 4 or 5 tests in school. A day full of tests for me is actually kind of nice, because it keeps the day rolling and by the end of the day, all the tests will be DONE! (A very encouraging thought)
But the main part I'm excited about is the afternoon. Right after school gets out, I'm going to have my very first bassoon lesson! For those who don't know what a bassoon is, it is an eight-foot long red instrument in which some of the Winnie the Pooh music is played on. It looks like this:
I've been dreaming to play bassoon since the fifth grade, and now is finally my chance! I've been playing the oboe in middle school band, and I can only get a sound out of a double reed. I tried flute and I tried saxophone. Both were incredibly hard for me. When I tried the double reed with the oboe, it was perfect. Double reeds rock!
After my bassoon intro, I'm going to rush over to my old school to audition for a drama/academic team my math teacher last year is running. It's called Odyssey of the Mind, and basically, you're given a problem that you solve by writing an original skit, making props and costumes, and performing it. I hope I make it!
Once my day is over, however, I'm spending the night at one of my best friend's house! We're planning on playing our instruments (She plays the flute, so we can play the same music. it's really fun!), making bracelets, eating leftover Halloween candy, playing Playstation, just hanging out, and watching Criminal Minds. We've been planning this for about a week, and I can't wait!
Hey, that's my first full-length blogger post EVER! Hoorah!

I'm Sick
I was home sick today because my throat hurts really bad. I have a headache, and I've spent most of the day cuddled up in bed watching Law and Order and reading, which is not incredibly blog-worthy. But there's my post. Goodbye.

My Boring Day
First real post in awhile. Hoozah!
My friend Katherine left today, so I was late for school because I wanted to say goodbye to her at 9 this morning. However, my dad made pancakes for breakfast, we got to sleep in, and all was good.
Because I was absent yesterday, I ended up with a bunch of homework, most of which I'm still working on. My list is:
- 6 literature questions
- Several vocabulary words to define and my thoughts about a biography on Elanor Roosevelt
- A section in geography to read
- A few notes about Russia
- A PE current event summary
- Studying 2 PE vocabulary words (Actually, memorizing word-for-word)
- A concept map, 8 vocabulary questions, 10 multiple choice, and 6 free-answer questions for science
- A double-sided science sheet
Currently, I've scratched 3 items off the list. Only 5 more to go *whootwhoot* The bad part is, I'm really tired....ugh.

Hopefully you've caught on to my titles
Well, actually, today is the last day I'll have to put close to nothing in my blog post. To make this NaBloPoMo worthy, I'll post everything I did this morning:
-I played DS for about an hour (Nintendogs, Wild World, Harvest Moon, Zoo Tycoon, and WarioWare to be exact)
-I woke up at around 6:30
-I ate three mini packs of peanut M&Ms
-I also ate about two Reese's.
My mom told me to blog about my interesting life. Doesn't sound to interesting, does it?

- I watched Playhouse Disney for about 3 hours
- I walked the dog
- I played waaaay to much GameCube
- I ate me some chocolate
There, NaBloPoMo, there's your stupid post. I'm going to bed.

Short and To The Point
Hey, peoples!
I can't make this very long (nor will my posts be long for the next few days) because my friend Katherine came over for the weekend. We're watching the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie, and will probably watch many more movies as well as making time for knitting, reading, and just hanging out. I'll still do my NaBloPoMo, but they won't be long or interesting for a couple days.
In other news- I'm seeing my invisible* friend Maya this December! I told her and her friend Quinn today over the phone, and she completely FLIPPED out. We're so excited and are planning a sleepover with Quinn, a late-night-take-shifts costume-making night, and performing skits. We can hardly wait!
*I consider Maya my invisible friend because we've never seen each other, and the only reason we know each other is because Maya' mom is on the same message board as my mom. We're nearly twins and have only known each other for a few years!

Runnin' Short on Time
Woah, if tHIS is the NabloPoMo pressure, I don't know if I like it. However, I decided that you guys can enjoy stuff I enjoy. So watch the music video to my favorite song.
Faboo.
(I just LOOOVE when Joel grabs the rose and it turns black. Soooo dramamtic)
Good night!

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fort Knox
It's priest,
Have a little priest.
Is it really good?
Sir, it's too good, at least.
For the last few months, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street has been my favorite musical. Old-time readers of my mom's blog will know that when I like a musical, I usually dress up as a character for Halloween. When I was 10, it was Rumpleteazer from CATS, and this year, I decided to be Mrs. Lovett, Todd's pie-making partner in crime. I didn't have anyone to go out with, though, so I asked my friend Matthew if her was interested in trick-or-treating with me. he declined until I found out he didn't have a costume. I told my mom, and after about 10 minutes of brainstorming, came up with a couple ideas:
- Black-eyed P (Yes, P, not pea)
- Game show contestant (OK, that was Matthew's idea)
- Ultra Ordinary Boy
And finally, our last suggestion was for him to wear black pants and a white shirt, allow us to get some ribbon for suspenders and a fake razor, and be a five-minute throw together Sweeney Todd. He loved the idea, and a few days later, got this as a product:
We also got in the spirit to dress up my dog, Ginger. Chicken pot pie, anyone?
